I served fourteen years in the medical corps and was discharged in 2024 with a traumatic brain injury. I have been waiting fourteen months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote I have comes to $4,850.
I'm receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and am committed to my recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
I'd be grateful for any help and will share updates on how I'm doing.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $4,850 goes:
• Training provider fees: $2,000
• Housing deposit and first month: $2,150
• Transport to appointments: $450
• Essential household items: $250
Thank you for reading my story.

Good luck, Pablo. This could happen to any of us. Love from Tampa.
You're not alone, Pablo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Los Angeles
Sending love, Pablo. Your post was clear and honest. God bless.
